Connect with the blissful care of nature by choosing only plant based, organic and natural products in your day-to-day life. Simple and sustainable, here are 5 ways to build a lifestyle full of health and wellbeing.

STEP 1: CLEAR THE KITCHEN

The holy grail of health where food resides, ditch the plastic and poly-fiber and switch to clay and earthen cookware for your pantry. Instead of paper napkins that eventually lead to piles of waste, you can use cotton or bamboo dishcloths that can be washed and reused for years. Using glass and steel storage containers also assure not just durability and security but reduce the inclusion of plastic in your house. The less the better!

STEP 2: GO VEGAN

There is a multitude of ways to eat your way to a healthy lifestyle – you can make drinks instead of buying them, buy produce in season, grow your own herbs, and avoid processed foods including animal-based products. Say no to meat, and choose veganism that contributes not just to a good environment, but good health.

STEP 3: SHOP SLOW

One of the biggest hazards to our planet is fast fashion. According to waste statistics, the industry produces over 92 million tonnes of waste per year. The effects of fast fashion on the environment include CO2 emissions, water consumption, chemical pollution, and textile waste amongst many more. We can choose to shop sustainably by paying attention to how and where a collection was made, how ethical the fabrics used are, and the durability of the garments. Shop slow to live slow.

STEP 4: GREEN IS THE NEW GLAM

The beauty market is not behind on comprehending the necessity of sustainable and cruelty free brands. Nature vs chemicals – how does it get any easier than this? Look for brands and products that are vegan, plant-based, or paraben-free; skin care and makeup that actually nurtures you and the planet both!

STEP 5: TRAVEL LIKE A LOCAL

Living consciously is not restricted to just our immediate homes. According to recent studies, only 39% of travelers manage to make their travel trips eco-friendly. To begin with, select your stay smartly. Research on your destination where you can accommodate most sustainably. It is important to keep in mind your carbon footprint, so save paper on tickets and simply rely on digital receipts for your fare details. You can also choose to commute on foot instead of transport to reduce your environmental footprint as well as fit in some workout.

Remember – it all starts with us. From one decision a day to the next, we can find ourselves and the planet growing healthier and better in the near future.
